I agree with the rest on this one. If you have not bought the scope yet, check out the VXIII 2-8x36. That would be a nice compliment to that rifle...In my opinion. But to each his own. Its not my rifle either. if you want a big objective then go that route. Its not going to hurt anything it just doesn't exactly "fit". And with the contour of that barrel and scope you would use low rings, possibly even the super lows.
